E528: Running an Ecommerce Business from India

Mike catches up with Aaron Hughes from Ecommerce Wala after the visit to India to talk about Aaron's background, how he got started in Ecommerce, and the differences between working with a team vs. online. 

 

Today, we're joined by Aaron Hughes from Ecommerce Wala. 

 

Aaron and I met during the India Sourcing Trip, and he was by far, one of the most different while still being from the US.  

 

I wanted to invite Aaron over to the podcast today to talk about how his ecommerce journey ended up in India, the cultural and ecommerce differences between the US and India and his company Ecommerce Wala.
